Alex Warren has officially made music history — and not just TikTok history. The rising US singer-songwriter has now surpassed Elvis Presley to claim the longest-running Number 1 single by a solo American male artist in 70 years on the UK Official Singles Chart.
‘Ordinary’ Holds Strong at No.1 for a Ninth Consecutive Week
Warren’s breakout hit Ordinary continues its incredible momentum, spending a ninth straight week at Number 1 in the UK. That achievement edges out the King of Rock and Roll himself — Elvis Presley’s 1960 classic ‘It’s Now or Never’, which held the top spot for eight weeks.
This historic feat makes Ordinary the longest-reigning chart-topper by a solo US male artist since 1955, when Slim Whitman’s ‘Rose Marie’ dominated the charts for an unprecedented 11 weeks.
From Viral Sensation to Chart Phenomenon
Hailing from California, Alex Warren first found fame on social media, but he’s now proving he’s got serious staying power in the music world. Ordinary, an emotional pop anthem that has resonated with millions, shows no sign of slowing down on streaming platforms, airplay charts, or TikTok trends.
His crossover success mirrors the rise of artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Tate McRae, who’ve transformed social media buzz into global chart dominance.
